We see this as a thrilling association and will ensure that while the action onstage is pulsating, patrons can rev up their own bodies with our powerful Monster mixes."
Simpson
Jessica Simpson is "actively trying" for a baby. The singer and actress is reportedly desperate to start a family with her American football star boyfriend Tony Romo after her younger sister Ashlee gave birth to her first child, son Bronx Mowgli, last month.
A source said: "I wouldn't be surprised if Jessica makes an announcement that she's pregnant very, very soon."
Meanwhile, the Come On Over singer has revealed that the festive period has made her become more domesticated.
She said: "My personality is now more stay at home. Right now, I'm doing the Christmas tree and everything. I'm in Dallas and it's fun. Tony hasn't had Christmas in seven years because they have football every Christmas and he can't go home. So, I'm bringing Christmas to him this year. Believe it or not, I like to bake pies. Tony's favourite is pumpkin pie and I haven't mastered that yet. Maybe I'm more of a baker - I like to make cakes, more fattening."
